ORU to Host Showings of “PovertyCure”

The Oral Roberts University Christian Worldview Committee is slated to host two showings
of the cutting-edge series “PovertyCure.” The public showings will be held in Zoppelt
Auditorium on the ORU campus at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5, and Monday, Nov. 11.

The audience will view three episodes, each followed by an expert panel discussion.
Panelists include ORU professors, international students and practitioners aligned
with PovertyCure. Co-Producer Anielka Münkel will be onsite to introduce the film
on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

“PovertyCure” is a multi-episode examination of global poverty. Statistics indicate
that approximately 1.2 billion people worldwide live on less than $1.25 a day. PovertyCure
seeks to take these people from aid to enterprise by encouraging solutions that foster
opportunity and unleash the entrepreneurial spirit that already fills the developing
world.

“We are thrilled to host two showings of this ground breaking series,’ said Chair
of the ORU Worldview Committee Mark Roberts. “It is our hope that ‘PovertyCure’ will
inspire ORU students and the Tulsa community to look at poverty in a new way.”

As an organization, PovertyCure seeks to provide economic opportunities through entrepreneurship.
Through enabling indigenous people to start and grow their own businesses, the organization
hopes to build local economies and foster sustainable financial resources for communities.
